The person on the phone was very courteous and explained the process so that we were able to get a seat at the counter as a walk-in. Beautiful is an understatement when you first walk into the dining area. Meagan, our server, was fantastic and took the time to explain all the nooks and crannies of the establishment and wine selections. Never once did we feel rushed to make room for more diners. Food came out at a good pace, hot and fresh. For starters we had the Gnocco with mortadella and a caesar salad. Both we exquisite. For the pasta dishes we chose the stuffed pappardelle and clam tagliatelle. First off, we both grew up in Italian homes in CT so pasta is a right up our alley yet no one, not a single restaurant in our state can match the artistry and flavor that was presented to us on those plates. After our pasta, we didn't feel like a sack of potatoes. Pasta sits nice and light in your tummy. Portion sizes are plenty even for a big eater like myself. Meagan "convinced" us to get the almond cookies for desert and we're still talking about them. The open kitchen is great to watch and I would encourage diners to sit at the counter to witness real chefs in action. Would make the 4 hour drive from CT to eat here again. Thanks to Meagan and the entire staff for a wonderful experience.

It's down a DARK stairway w NO LIGHT!! The steps down were painted black and the walls were also dark! No lighting on the walls down!! We used our phone flash lights!! Maybe some yellow tape so it's possible to see the next step in front of you...??? I watched many folks stumble and trip their way down... an accident waiting to happen!! BUT... I am telling you , I got there and "alive".... OMG the food is amazing!! I so want to go again, but I am afraid!! It would only take a couple of wall lights, and maybe some yellow tape on the steps to make the descend into the restaurant easier. I'm hoping I can call... order food, and ask them to bring it up to the door. Otherwise... we older folks, are out of luck!!

He had asked for some of our favorite dishes and foods, and using just a few examples he was able to design a creative and diverse menu that had us practically licking the plates by the end. It was so wonderful to be able to relax with our families instead of having to stress about not only cooking a full meal for 8 people, but planning the menu itself. Both of our families being cheese lovers, he started us out with a beautiful, locally-sourced arrangement of cheeses complete with herbed butter and artisan bread and crackers, along with dozens of fresh oysters. Some of our favorite dishes consisted of the brown butter lobster buns with old bay aioli and lemon (Will also made a vegetarian version of this with cherry tomatoes for one of our family members); hanger steak with chimichurri, peppers, and onions; and a Parisienne gnocchi with freshly foraged mushrooms, baby kale, and dijon crème fraîche. Everything was perfectly cooked and each dish had such a unique flavor profile so that the entire meal truly felt like one exciting journey. We especially loved the carrot cake with cardamom cream cheese for dessert, which had us going back for third helpings. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful of a time we all had, and we would just like to thank Will again for such a magical evening. He is not only incredibly professional and accommodating, but very easy going and a pleasure to be around for your special event.

The broccoli cashew salad was fresh and delicious. I was a little bummed that the Turkey was but fresh cut and appeared to have preservatives/lunch meat texture.

Couple of notes: 1)…read moreapparently, the menu changes frequently. For example only one or two things on the yelp menu were on the menu I received 2) New American is a very apt characterization of the menu with emphasis on new. As in new to the point of unusual/unfamiliar/avant guard. 3) I am not a huge fan of cruciferous vegetables and the offering was chock full of them, like Ham and Pork Belly with buttered Cauliflower 4) I could not find an entree that sounded terrific from the 4 offered that day. The hanger steak on the menu Yelp showed would have been great. 5) I had two of the starters - chicken liver pate with grilled bread and salami cotto. They were good. Pate is hard to make into a stand out. The Salami appeared to be made in house and was quite good but would have been better to share -- it's a lot of salami 5). The place was full and loud. Not sure why restaurants with hard surfaces and high ceilings think bass driven background music is the thing to do, but it appears to be. The noise volume detracted from the intimacy of a couples dinner. If you are really adventurous- this place is for you. If you favor the more familiar with a twist, you may be there the wrong night.

We didn't make it too far out of town, into Waterbury to be exact, before the aroma of chocolate drew us in. A nice variety of specialty and discounted items has you feeling like you've saved on the factory mishaps so you can splurge on some one-of-a-kind delicacies or more gourmet items. Regular chocolate bars and all their varieties were arranged in a nice display that's easy to understand and decide which flavors you'll bring home as gifts. The highlight of the stop, however, was the hot chocolate bar, which featured their blends from around the world. With options for sweet or rich, like the Aztec Chocolate (featuring chipotle, ancho and cinnamon) and more intense dark chocolate, hazelnut or peppermint alternatives. It's quite a fun and educational stop, the staff is very accommodating and informative and helps you make decisions based on solid personal recommendations...it must be bittersweet working around chocolate all day, but our once-through was both savory and sweet!
